COMPETITOR INFO
BUTTER BEAN MEMORIAL RAIL JAM
CARDRONA ALPINE RESORT
SATURDAY 20TH JULY 2024
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Friends of Sam and lovers of the mountain all get together to host a super fun, casual and inclusive rail jam on Saturday 20th July. The rail Jam is a memorial event for Sam Finnemore, who was an inspiring young snowboarder and part of Cardrona Whanau. The Rail Jam kicks off late morning on rail features set up by our Cardrona Park Crew. The features are installed to encourage riders of all ages and abilities to "give it a go" and showcase their skills and style. The BBRJ is noisy and fun, and thanks to Burton, K2 and Line Skis, Volcom, Skull candy and Pit Viper eyewear there is a ton of swag given out to riders who step up or throw down.
EVENT FORMAT
The set-up will have side by side rail features, similar to Stag Lane. The day kicks off with practice in the morning before it get seriously not so serious as the jam progresses and the MC hypes up the crowd and swag prizes are tossed out. On the day skiing and snowboarding are the winners and everyone else gets to enjoy a fun day with friends on the mountain plus snacks from Jack Links and Fizzy water thanks to Vista.
